Charges: Misdemeanor traffic offenses following an accident
Resolution:
Continuance for dismissal on both charges. The State’s initial and “final” offer was a straight plea to a misdemeanor traffic offense. After aggressive and strategic negotiations – which included representations about the unavailability of a key witness following North Star’s investigation – the State finally agreed to a continuance for a dismissal. The client will stave off a conviction and keep his insurance premiums low – thereby saving more money in the long-term than it took to retain us. It pays to hire North Star.
